Simpsonville Activity And Senior Center Once Again Site Of Annual Koi And Goldfish Show Kay Barutha

The South Carolina Koi and Water Garden Society invite you to come on down to the Simpsonville Activity and Senior Center (310 West Curtis) the first weekend in October and find out what goes on at a koi and goldfish show. The hours of the event are featured in the ad at right. You all know what a goldfish is, but what about Koi? Let me help you with that one. Koi are ornamental Japanese multi-colored fish and, perhaps surprisingly, many people in our area keep them as pets. A koi show is much like a dog show and features, as you might expect, the best of the best. Individuals bring their fish (both koi and goldfish) to be judged (by official, certified outside judges) and prizes are awarded as a result of the judging. The koi to be judged can be found in large blue tanks in the ropedoff area down the center of the gymnasium, and the goldfish will be displayed in aquariums by the stage. Children love to watch the big koi swim around in their tanks, but they seem to especially enjoy watching the goldfish because they can walk right up to the aquariums and get up close and personal with these little guys. There’s just something fascinating and mystical about fish that makes these living jewels seem so exotic, but whatever it is, this event will provide an unusual and enjoyable weekend outing

for the whole family. Fascinating and beautiful as they are, however, the show isn’t just about the fish. They are the stars of the show, of course, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Like shopping! In addition to the competition, there are all those vendors selling a wide variety of items such as jewelry, artwork, yard art, purses, pillows, plants, and even painted rocks, as well as pond supplies, nets, pumps, fish food, and live koi and goldfish. I especially love the carnivorous plants. Carnivorous means “meat eater” and believe it or not, these plants, which come in all sizes, unusual configurations, and bright colors, actually eat bugs. How cool is that? They also make great gifts. In addition, a real, working pond, complete with plants and a waterfall, will be constructed on site. There will be facepainting for the kids on Saturday, and a few local radio personalities will be dropping by to check it out and join in the fun. And best of all – it’s free! The Blood Mobile will be in front of the building on Saturday for those who wish to give the gift of life, and every donation will be greatly appreciated. As in previous years, a beautiful and unique pin has been designed to (Continued on page 9)

Public Works Committee Meeting Tuesday, September 23, 2014 7:00pm

Although the city denies any liability to Grounsell, the agreement states that the settlement is to “compromise, settle and resolve any disputes that may exist between them.” The Police Chief was rehired in February of this year. His signature was added to the document back in August, but Lawrence’s signature was added on September 10th, completing the agreement. The complete document is available at simpsonvillebanner.com

New Police Sub-Station Press Release | Simpsonville Police Department

SIMPSONVILLE, SC – On September 26, 2014 the Simpsonville Police Department will have the grand opening of a new sub-station located at 699 Fairview Rd. in the Advance America store. A sub-station in the busy Fairview Rd. area will not only be advantageous to our operations, but it should give other businesses in the area a heightened sense of security by the increase in police presence. This sub-station will be used to write reports, meet with victims, etc. without having to drive all the way back the Police Department. This does not force the officer to leave his assigned beat, which keeps down response time for calls for service. Over all we feel that it will be a positive step toward public relations. The only cost for the sub-station was for two department decals.

PER YEAR. 52 TOTAL ISSUES.

*Simpsonville area.

The Grand Opening is scheduled for 1pm.

South Greenville Fair 2014 Beth Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com September 17, 2014 The South Greenville Fair began in 1958 as the Hillcrest Fair, so named for the high school where it was held. Founders Jeff Richardson, Sr., Conway Jones, and T.C. Alexander created the fair to “educate and inspire community celebration of the science and technology of plant and animal production through youth participation involving the 4-H and FFA organizations.” Now hosted at Simpsonville’s City Park, the traditional affair is said to be the last of it’s kind. Hosted by volunteers from local businesses, farms and educators the fair celebrates Simpsonville’s rural heritage and environment. Below is the stated mission from southgreenvillefair.com: The SGF volunteers work to achieve goals by providing opportunities for the positive development of youth by: *Promoting responsibility and exposing them to the challenges of competition and leadership thereby cultivating citizenship. *Presenting challenges to help educate others of agriculture products, animal and natural resources. *Providing an opportunity to show and exhibit agriculture products, animals, and livestock. *Presenting an opportunity to have their animals appraised by competent judges and to experience victory and defeat. The event begins at 8:30 am on Saturday, September 20, at City Park on East Curtis Street. The schedule of events is detailed at right.

Returning this October...

Opportunity Representative Garry Smith | September 16, 2014

Through out history it’s seems that change or reform usually follows a major event or calamity. South Carolina is no different. Whether it is “Operation Lost Trust”, the collapse of the textile industry or the recent events surrounding the Speaker of the House in South Carolina, these events tend to spark a desire for reform to the institutions which allowed the event to occur.

Care to flock someone special this October? Contact Matthew Gooch to sign up. 864-399-9405 Proceeds are donated to GHS and their cancer centers.

Jay Lucas, Speaker Pro Tempore and acting Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives, recently said, “Anytime major change occurs within an institution, it presents an opportunity for reflection and review of how that institution operates.” Thankfully, the reaction to this recent event has been swift thanks to the leadership that has filled the void.

It is always in the best interest of South Carolinians to have the most efficient, effective and transparent government possible. What matters most is that the House continues to fight for the best interests of their constituents, and continues to make all improvements necessary to achieve that goal. The swiftness of this effort, and the potential magnitude of its goals are a “breath of fresh air”, as stated by my friend Nathan Ballentine, South Carolina House of Representatives, District 71. As someone who has pushed for organizational reforms in my short time in the South Carolina House of Representatives, I am encouraged by this swift turn of events, and I look forward to taking part in the historic debate that this opportunity presents to us.

Last week immediately after the self imposed suspension of Speaker Bobby Harrell took place the Acting Speaker, Jay Lucas, and House Ways and Means Chairman, Brian White, announced the formation of a special bi-partisan committee to bring back solutions to our road maintenance problem in the State.

655 Fairview Rd. Suite N • Simpsonville, SC 864-962-1767

Yesterday, Acting Speaker Lucas announced the formation of a bi-partisan committee to look at ways to reform the institutional rules of the South Carolina House of Representatives. This effort has the envious goal of dispersing power and opening the system to better transparency.

As always, it is a privilege to serve you in the South Carolina House. If you ever need help with state government, or have any thoughts or concerns about what we are doing, please do not hesitate to contact me at 9630337 at home or 803 734-3045 at my office in Columbia

The Rut Brandon Herring | September 17, 2014 The rut. A magical time of the year that every hunter looks forward to. The rut is often times the most productive time of the season and some hunters only hunt during the rut. A lot of work goes into trying to predict when the rut is going to begin. There are books, websites, solunar calendars, charts, graphs, and all kinds of gadgetry and devices to help a hunter try to catch the rut for the best possible results. One tried and true method has proven to be more effective than any other: scouting. Here, we’re going to talk about scouting and what to look for leading up to the rut. To understand what to look for in the woods, you need to understand what happens to a buck before, during, and after the rut.

Follow Golden Strip Outdoors on Facebook to know when new content is up, or share your photos and news. Also on Twitter @GoStOutdoors

During March and April, a buck’s antlers will begin to grow. The antlers of a deer are one of the fastest growing among animals and can grow as much as ½ inch per day. Antlers are not like a cow’s horns that are made up of a fingernail like tissue that stay with the bull most of its life. They are made of bone and are shed each year and then regrown. They are covered in a velvet like tissue. This is a living tissue cover that is very sensitive to the touch. It also contains blood vessels that carry blood and nutrients to the bone to help the antlers grow. Around the end of the summer or early fall, a buck’s antlers have slowed or stopped growing. A surge in testosterone causes the velvet like tissue to die and begin to fall off. The buck

will scrape the velvet off of its antlers on trees and shrubs around the area they live in. This rubbing will often continue after the velvet has been completely shed as the buck becomes more aggressive and ready for the fighting ahead. These rubs are the first sign that the rut is near. This time can vary by days and weeks, even within the same state. No calendar or map or gadget can be that precise. As the velvet begins to shed, this rubbing will take place just about anywhere a buck goes. You will usually find a large amount of rubs close together where the buck beds down. This is where he spends most of his time and will naturally do the most rubbing in this area. He will also rub as he goes to eat or drink. This is called a rub line. You may also see the stray rub here and there as the buck explores looking for a new food or water source. Setting up a tree stand or ground blind along a rub line is a safe bet. Putting a stand or blind near his bedding area will put too much pressure on the buck and he may move from the area entirely. During this time, not much is needed in the way of calling or lures. Setting up during peak movement times and keeping your scent covered will get you the best results. Once the velvet is gone the testosterone is still running at its highest levels of the year. You may still see more rubbing and some scratching in the dirt as the bucks mark their territory

and assert their dominance. You will probably start to see younger bucks sparring. Sparring is nothing more than shoving. They are getting ready for the bigger fights that will land them breeding opportunities with the does in the area. Then, one fine day, it’s here. The rut. I read somewhere in Field & Stream once that the average day for the peak of the rut is November 1st. Like I mentioned before, this time vary from region to region. You’ll know it’s time when you start to see more movement of the deer as they begin to chase each other for fighting or breeding. The strategy changes a bit as the rut begins. Calls, doe estrus scent, and decoys come into play now. A good grunt or a rattle of antlers can bring an aggressive buck storming in ready for a fight. Keep in mind that some older bucks may sneak in downwind from you to investigate what the sound is before running in to fight. Cover scent and odor eliminators are very important during this time. A buck’s nose will pick up your scent in a heartbeat and you will never know he was even there. Take what you have read here as a starting point. Even this article won’t help you as much as getting in the woods and tracking your game. I wish you all good luck and if you get a big one, send me a picture at brandon@ simpsonvillebanner.com and we’ll put your picture up for everyone to see.

Koi And Goldfish Show (Continued from Page 2) commemorate this year’s show, and these will be on sale at the welcome desk, which will also have free show brochures and other information to hand out. Like raffles? They’ve got those, too. Drawings will be held throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. All fish entered for judging are to be registered on Friday and the judges start their work on Saturday morning. Prizes are awarded at an awards banquet on Saturday night. If you are a koi hobbyist and have fish you would like to enter in the show, you can go to www.sckwgs.com (upcoming events) to print out an exhibitor package. All exhibitors are welcome and we hope you will pick out a fish (or 2 or 3 or 6) to bring to the show. Winners will take home some very beautiful trophies, along with the bragging rights that go with them. Still have questions? You can also call co-chairmen Jim Suerth (864-879-1369) or Gene Koch (864-288-2342) for additional information.

More than a dozen koi shows are held across the country each year, and the South Carolina show has become known as one of the best. Thousands of visitors from upstate communities and surrounding states attend this event every year (this is the club’s seventh annual show), and many of them don’t own a single fish. But, whether they come to show their fish, to see the prizewinning fish, to look for a fish to buy, to shop, or just enjoy the fall festival atmosphere (or all of the above), none are disappointed. What? You say you’ve never been to a koi show? Well, don’t save it for your bucket list, do it now! Since the entire event is held inside, you don’t have to worry about the weather, and the price is right – Did I mention that both admission and parking are free? So set aside a little time for something fun and unusual, take a short drive, and come join the fun.

R.I.C.E. R.I.C.E. Baby Chris Larson | September 16, 2014

Whether bending over in the garden or deadlifting 500lbs active people often tweak, sprain, and strain various soft tissue groups. While soft tissue damage can be painful, it is often easily treated at home. R.I.C.E. stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. The first thing to do when you suspect an injury or are feeling pain is to stop what your doing and rest the affected area. Regardless of what the gym rats in the genie pants say, pain does not equal gain. It is a warning sign that something isn’t right with your body. Ice is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. The most common method is to ice for 20 minutes per hour for the first 48 hours after an injury. It is important not to place ice directly on the skin because of the risk of frostbite. Compression is another technique used to reduce swelling. Minimizing swelling is key to maximizing blood flow and healing in the days after the injury. It is important that compression is firm but not restricting.

864-630-5429 BRANDON.HERRING@LIVINGSTONECHARITIES.COM

Elevation is the third method to reduce swelling and inflammation. Elevate the injured body part above the heart so that blood can flow but does not rush or

pool in the area. While most minor injuries can be treated at home, it is also important to listen to your body. If the pain is extreme or if you have the thought that you might need to see a doctor, then most likely you do.

The Roads We Travel Every day, the roads of our wonderful city are explored and navigated. We live on them and count on them, and yet we never think about the story behind these roads and their namesakes that reflect over two centuries of history. Here is an inside look at a few of our cities roads, and the hidden history behind their names. Harrison Bridge Road is one of the major thoroughfares of our area. In addition to being an interstate exit that leads into Simpsonville, it has over time become an extension of Fairview Road’s retail empire. But was there ever actually a Harrison Bridge? The answer is yes! An 1824 map of Greenville County depicts a “Harrison’s Bridge” crossing over the Reedy River, near the present location of Hopkins Farm. This is of interest, because in 1834, a man named James Harrison sold his land to John Hopkins to start what became Hopkins Farm. This means that Harrison’s Bridge was probably named for James Harrison, who is buried in the private Harrison Family Cemetery, fittingly located on South Harrison Bridge Road. Moving across the highway, Iselin Street is located in the old mill village near downtown Simpsonville. While most of the streets in the mill village have more generic names, Iselin is incredibly unique. The namesake for the road is William Jay Iselin, a former New York banker and descendant of John Jay (the first Supreme Court Chief Justice) who moved to the South after the Great Depression and owned textile mills. Iselin was associated with Woodside Mills before his tragic death in a plane crash in 1951. He is buried at Christ Church in downtown Greenville. Iselin’s son, John Jay Iselin, attended Harvard University and became the president of WNET, a major New York and New Jersey television station that transmits from the Empire State Building.

Lee Vaughn Road, the official name for the stretch of Highway 417 leading from downtown Simpsonville to Woodruff Road, is named for Lee Arthur Vaughn, a local farmer who passed away in 1933. Lee Vaughn’s grandson, Lawrence J. Vaughn Jr., was the founder of Vaughn’s Country Store in downtown Simpsonville which has become a vital part of our local community. Lee A. Vaughn is buried along with his wife in Clear Spring Baptist Church Cemetery, less than a mile from the road which was named for him. What street names would you like to know more about? Our area has plenty of roads to offer, each with their own unique and interesting history. Please send your “road name requests” to andrew@ simpsonvillebanner.com, and they may be featured in a future article!

HISTORY | LOCAL EVENTS

Holy Cross Pumpkin Patch Announces 2014 Dates, Ministry Partners Press Release Holy Cross Episcopal Church has announced that their annual Pumpkin Patch will open on September 27, 2014. Hours of the patch are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m. The patch will remain open through Halloween or until all the pumpkins are sold. This is the 9th year that the church has operated its pumpkin patch in front of Vaughn’s Country Store at 109 W. Trade Street in downtown Simpsonville. The pumpkin patch began as a ministry of the church to raise funds for its contribution to the annual Golden Strip Church Coalition Habitat for Humanity build. It has grown over the years to provide funding to other local non-profit agencies and ministry partners of the church. The patch has raised $115,000 in its eight year history that has been distributed to local ministry partners of the church. In addition to Habitat for Humanity, the beneficiaries of this year’s patch proceeds include the Center for Community Services, Fountain Inn Kids Experience, James Monroe Mission House, Little Steps, Kairos Outside, Safe Harbor, Santa Cruz Hispanic Outreach, Synergy Garden and Upstate Warrior Solutions. The pumpkins, gourds, and ornamental corn that are sold at the Holy Cross Pumpkin Patch are grown on Navajo Indian reservation land near Farmington in northern New Mexico. According to Patch Director Randy Cockrill, “these pumpkins are a superior product compared to other products grown in wetter parts of the country.” The patch also sells bundled corn stalks grown locally. “We offer a wide range of products from 50 cent pumpkins to much larger ones weighing over 50 pounds. At

any given time we typically have several thousand pumpkins in stock,” Cockrill added. The Holy Cross Pumpkin Patch has several special events planned for the patch to entice visitors to come buy pumpkins and make it a family friendly outing. On Friday, October 3 the patch will hold its First Friday at the Patch festivities from 6-8 p.m. featuring wine tasting for adults and storytelling for the children. On Saturday, October 11 from 1-3 p.m. the patch will offer face painting and on Saturday, October 25 from 1-3 p.m. the patch will offer pumpkin carving demonstrations. The patch will also be participating in the Harvest Moon Festival on October 17 and 18 in downtown Simpsonville. In addition, each agency and ministry partner will be featured at the patch on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the month of October so that the community can become more familiar with the services they provide. Holy Cross Episcopal Church is located at 205 E. College Street in Simpsonville. The mission of the church is to “Make Christ Visible in The Community” and according to Rector Michael P. Flanagan, the pumpkin patch fits perfectly with that mission. “100% of the proceeds from this patch go back to the community – including the Navajo reservation where the pumpkins are harvested. It is our church’s largest outreach effort and something Golden Strip families look forward to visiting every Fall,” he added. Holy Cross church members volunteer their time throughout the month to help customers with their purchases and to keep the patch stocked with pumpkins. Visit www.holycrossep. org for more information. The Holy Cross Pumpkin Patch can also be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Main Street Says Goodbye to Every Nook & Cranny

Cathleen Buchanan knows a good thing when she sees it, and she knows when it’s time to let it go. That’s a skill that’s served her well as purveyor of an eclectic mix of merchandise including antiques, furniture, jewelry, and more from every decade. For over nine years, her shop next door to Kimbrell’s Furniture has seen other businesses open and close their doors while its red brick façade and striped awning remained steadfastly in place, a stopping point for her selected treasures on the way to their next chapter in a new home.

city. Things are happening all the time. More of the new businesses are investing in the real estate they occupy and are in it for the long haul.”

When Cathleen opened Every Nook & Cranny in 2005, she remembers, “Downtown Fountain Inn was struggling to establish itself, but I saw a glimmer of hope.” In the time since, she says, the city and the downtown business community have worked together to bring Main Street to life and attract visitors and more merchants. Operating a store like hers is no easy task in any town, she admits. “Small business is tough. It takes guts, money, and hard work. You have to constantly reinvent, reevaluate, and renew who you are, what you offer, how you operate.” And that is what she did as the economy and clientele evolved over the years, while the city itself has put forth the same efforts just outside Every Nook’s door. Now Fountain Inn’s plans for revitalization are coming to fruition, and Cathleen has noticed the changes. “I see a bright future for this small

FOUNTAIN INN

Fond of Every Nook’s welcoming atmosphere and shelves full of everchanging merchandise available at all price points, Cathleen’s customers have returned again and again over the years, and fellow merchants have become close friends. “I am thankful for those who have supported me…we’ve shared a lot of laughs and a lot of tears and supported each other through the trials and tribulations of life. I will miss these people and will treasure my memories forever,” she says. As Main Street gets its facelift and the dust begins to settle, Cathleen has her sights on the next chapter in her own new home. She’s optimistic about both what’s behind her and what’s ahead: “[Christmas Festival] carriages will return to Main in December 2015, the project will be a memory, and a new downtown Fountain Inn will shine brightly. And me, I’ll be back in sunny south Florida right where I belong, playing with my two best friends, enjoying family and savoring retirement.” That’s Cathleen’s secret: She knows a good thing when she sees it and she knows when it’s time to let it go. (Note from Cathleen: “I will continue to sell a few things on my Every Nook & Cranny Facebook page. Please ‘like’ my page to keep in touch.”)

The Hillcrest Cross Country Team will host the Canned Food Drive 5k next Wednesday Sept 24. Boys will run at 5:30pm and Girls will run at 6:00/6:10pm depending on how fast the first race goes. Each team is asked to bring canned goods (5 per runner) and it has turned into a competition between the teams over the years. Riverside has won every year except 2 years ago when Hillcrest won. Last year we had over 20 school and over 800 runners with over 12,900 canned goods collected last year for the Golden Strip Emergency Relief. We will be collecting goods for them again this year and we look for it to be a large race again.

Submitted by Lynne Garrison Thank you to everyone who came to our Health and Safety Fair!! Students and teachers won T-shirts, recess equipment and a free month membership to Sports Club. Congratulations to Mrs. Mack’s and Mrs. Shaver’s class. They had the most people participate from their classes. If you missed the event, there is another chance to participate in a fitness activity at our school on Wednesday, October 8 for Walk to School Day beginning at 7:00 am. Come and join parents, teachers, students and staff on the track to celebrate Health, Fitness and Family. Pencils, bracelets and other little treats will be given out and prizes will be awarded those who complete the most laps and those classes who have the most participants. So MARK your calendars and come out bright and early to celebrate our health. All students must have an adult with them to participate. The event will be canceled if it rains. In November, watch out for the Turkey Trot. The fourth and fifth grade students have been learning something very special and unique in Physical Education class: riding a bicycle. The purpose of the training is to teach a variety of bicycle skills and traffic rules needed to enjoy riding a bicycle safely for health and transportation. I was able to secure the use of 50 bikes from Safe Kids Upstate, who recently won a grant to purchase bikes, helmets and trailers. Once instructor training is completed, the bikes and trailers can be used by organizations to help teach bike safety. The students have 2 indoor lessons and 3 outside lessons.

Joy Webster’s Dictionary defines joy as “a feeling of great happiness.” The Bible says in Nehemiah 8:10 ”…Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” The joy of the Lord does not depend on our moods, or our circumstances. The joy of the Lord comes from having total faith in Him, from knowing that no matter what happens, He loves us and will take care of us. That kind of joy is priceless. Or is it? I remember hearing a story not long ago about a man and his joy. This man’s wife came home from the grocery store and told her husband about a trip to the gas station. She told him that she had mistakenly pulled into the full service side and as a result, had paid more than she had intended. This man grabbed the receipt and quickly calculated that this mistake had cost roughly $7.00 more than it would if his wife had pumped the gas herself. He fussed and fumed all day. He slammed doors, kicked trash cans and yelled at everyone, all because he was upset about the $7.00.That night, as he lay down in bed and began to pray, God spoke to him. God pointed out the mood the man had been in all day. He pointed out the dented doors and trash cans, and the hurt feelings of his wife and everyone he had yelled at. The man finally realized what God was trying to tell him: He had sold his joy; his priceless joy, for $7.00 worth of gas. How about you? What is your joy worth? I sure hope it’s worth more than $7.00. I hope it’s worth more than someone cutting you off in traffic. I hope it’s worth more than someone being rude to you at work, or at the grocery store. Mine is worth much more than that, and I refuse to sell my joy at any price. Do I get upset sometimes? Sure. Do I get mad? Of course. Do I let it ruin my day? NO. It may take a few minutes, but I suddenly remember my joy and as I start to praise the Lord, my joy returns. And it’s NOT for sale. To anyone. So the next time you start to lose it, I hope you remember this story, and refuse to sell your joy. As always, if you need help getting connected to a church, need prayer, or just have a question for me, you can reach me at armstrongk2323@gmail.com. Have a JOYFUL, blessed day.

Church Breaks New Ground on Main Street, Fountain Inn Contributed by Pastor Shawn Hevener Presbyterian Fellowship of Fountain Inn was chartered and received into the ECO (A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians) in 2013. In November of 2013 we purchased a 13-acre property on South Main Street in Fountain Inn. The property was previously a horse stables and also included a residential home and various other buildings. Since that time we have converted the brick home into our church office. We have cemented the pole barn and it is now our outdoor pavilion. This past summer we held our Sunday morning worship services outside at 9:30 a.m. in the pavilion. It was beautiful to worship outdoors together. We broke ground on our worship facility on this property on Sunday. The rain couldn’t dampen the joy of our groundbreaking service and the fellowship at our potluck. We are excited to see how God will call us to use this property and this building to His glory in the coming years. Our mission is “joyfully learning, living and sharing the Word of God and the love of Jesus Christ.” You can also find out a bit more on our website at www.pffi.net

As Christians, we need to commit to God and the church. This should be our first priority, not all the other worldly things that in the end will amount to nothing. All these responsibilities we have are not necessarily evil. We only need to make sure that they do not take the place of God and what He has designed for us to do. In closing, consider this verse from the Bible, in Joshua 24:15 NIV: “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the

This requires reflection on the main concern that God had for his children. The Bible says in Romans 5:8 NIV: “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God stayed focused on His top priority, which was rescuing His people from sin and eternal separation from Himself. As a Christian, we need to focus on our top priority. That priority being worshiping God in all that we say and do, as well as reaching out to further His Kingdom. The Bible says in Psalm 37:5 TLB: “Commit everything you do to the Lord.

gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Trust Him to help you do it and He will.”

should hold first place, followed by family and then work.

In a world with so many choices and opportunities, it is easy to overcommit yourself. One of the things that most people struggle with is time management. We only have twenty-four hours in a day, but we live like there is twice the amount. Many of us have a hard time saying no to anyone or anything that comes our way. We are asked by our children, boss, or church to do a task and our response is “yes, no problem.” After some time has passed, we realize that we should have said no. Soon we are overwhelmed with all that we have accepted. So the question is “Where do we draw the line?” First of all, priorities have to be arranged. God

OBITUARIES

Heritage Funeral Home Proceeds with Phase II of Facility Plan. We are blessed to be able to move forward with continued construction of our facility. Once this phase is completed, the facility will contain a Chapel capable of accommodating 270 plus people, video and recording capabilities, and an ever-expanding selection room of full size caskets; all better positioning us to provide various service options for both small and large services.

The quality of craftsmanship being constructed by Mitchell Burns and his crew is tremendous and we are excited about our continued progress towards our master plan for this facility. We will continue to share the details of our progress over the upcoming weeks. We would welcome your stopping by to see what we are doing.

Our heritage roots in the funeral industry are deep â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dating back to 1879. We want to make sure that our facility today enables us to provide the level of service that families deserve and the level of respect and service that we want to provide the community.
